I had been going back and forth on the perfect black bag. It feels like I spent all summer popping in and out of stores and poring over pages and pages online looking for the right bag. One that I can carry around for errands and one that can work for night events and one that fits everything I need for work.
Because I’m going to be working and spending a lot more time (finger crossed) writing, I need a bag that can essentially turn into a traveling desk for me. Laptop, notebooks, wallet, all of the essentials. Kate Spade released images and the cutest video of the 2 Park Avenue Beau Bag and to say that I was lusting over it would be an understatement. Chic, great structure, and a bow? I’m in.
Isn’t the video fun?
I’ve been carrying it around all week to and from events and dinners and fashion shows. So in love!
I am a sucker for anything with a bow on it, and I just love Kate Spade! By the way, I also love you whole outfit, that dress is such a classic, gotta love J.Crew!
I would own that bag in every color if my mom didn't track my bank account! I am addicted to it. I just got my first Kate Spade — one of the golf-themed totes — and I can honestly say it is the most wonderful, hearty bag I've ever had. And her little clutch bags are so handy!!
Oh my goodness, the black one is so perfect. Its professional but fun! I have a hard time picking black anything, especially bags but this one is on my wish list
Oh this is so funny because I just wrote a blog post about this bag! It's not going up until Friday though. I am obsessed with the black Beau! Is it heavy? That is my only concern, that the bag itself is super heavy because it's so large.
It's gorgeous, but for $500?! No thanks!! I'll stick with the KSNY and Coach bags I've bought at outlet stores or found at consignment shops. They may be off-season, but at least I'm not spending half my paycheck on one…
OMG I want that Beau bag sooo badly. I'm so jealous KS gifted it to you. Such a beautiful bag that will be classic through the years. I love how you paired it with the scalloped black dress. I want your life Carly. -Alex http://www.monstermisa.blogspot.com/
I want the leopard one… Yep, the 900+ dollar one! It's very cute. Look forward to seeing how you style it. Let us know how it ends up working out on terms of carrying your laptop and stuff around! I'd be interested to know!
You are such a great blogger! You inspired me to start my own blog (though it will never be nearly as good!) Thank you for inspiring me and inspiring others! I love Kate Spade and this bag is probably my favorite one that she has! Too bad I'm a broke college student. I'll settle for looking at it though and aspiring to be something great one day, like you and Kate Spade. Keep it up! Love this blog (and your instagram and pinterest!) Much Love, Danielle
